Humans Destroying Major Food Source: Fish

by Steven D

This isn't a story about BP's oil gusher in the Gulf, though God knows when all is said and done if the "moderate impact" of that catastrophe may very well mean the end to much of the edible marine life, including shrimp and fish stocks, in the Gulf of Mexico for decades to come. No, bad as the BPocalypse may be, that's not the main reason for this story.  You see, human activity, from pollution and overfishing, has been rapidly depleting fish stocks around the world and destroying the fragile ecosystems of the world's oceans.   (Also at Booman Tribune)
